Man flogs world's number one Gamer Tag

Nina 10-10-2006

Some people will do anything to improve their Xbox Live Gamer score, and if yours is looking particularly paltry and feeble - and you have around $6000 bucks to spare - you can enhance your rep at a stroke by purchasing the Hard Disk with Gamer Tag Rance6 and the number one slot in the world, via online auction site eBay.

On his auction you can see the price is rocketing, with Italian gamer Ashita apparently having put in around 5000 hours of gameplay and unlocked enough achievements to have made his eyes bleed and worn his arms down to little stumps.

Official reason for offloading the hard disk containing the ultra desirable number one slot? Well says Ashita, "I am selling cause PS3 coming out" (sic). Perhaps he hasn't heard of that little delay occurring there in Europe?

A hoax? A legitimate way to earn a little back from your many hours of Xbox 360 play or an expensive and underserved way to leap straight to the head of the Xbox leaderboards? We leave you, the jury, to decide.

Hypnotize

So when can we expect Hsooly or Sinny to sell their UT characters?
